The chunks of text are indeed not necessarily oriented, but menu entries and node entries are oriented left to right. In * MENU-ENTRY-NAME: NODE-NAME. DESCRIPTION it seems to me that the menu entry parts are more or less left to right. Of course it could be displayed otherwise. Maybe since this order is somewhat arbitrary, it could indeed only considered as data organization convention not and as text. -- Pat
